Features

Today the management and modification of network configurations must be stable, secure, scalable, minimizing the possibility of generating errors and offering full visibility of the whole process of change. Net LineDancer offers robust configuration management features that allow you to realize all this and much more! Use the following links to explore the main features of Net LineDancer!

Start-Up Wizard

Draft Configurations

Support for the creation of draft of configuration using configurations of existing devices, or import from text files. The configurations projects can be edited directly and can therefore be applied to the device (either running or startup configuration). The draft can also be compared with existing configurations to verify that only the parts we want to change are affected by the changes.

Change Adviser

This is a new unique feature in the sector. The Change Advisor can work with existing configurations or draf configurations. By using the Change Advisor, and comparing the current configuration with the previous configuration, the Change Advisor generates a list of the commands needed to run the configuration rollback, leaving unchanged password.

Tera Term Integration

This function is very small but very useful. Working in concert with the Terminal Proxy, which allows you to automatically login to the devices and the capture of terminal sessions, we have added the possibility via a simple right click on any of the inventory devices and sign in Tera Term session on the device - running automatic login. As Tera Term is for Windows only, the same integration is planned for Mac OS X using the OS X built-in SSH.

Terminal Proxy - Automatic Login

Terminal Proxy allows the use of SSH in NetID, allowing you to "jump" into the devices present in the 'inventory by performing automatic login and full session recording. All that the coach sees or type is recorded, indexed and can be searched. This feature is so useful that as soon as we turned we stopped to connect the device directly

With the benefit that everything is recorded so mistakes are easy to locate. Of course, configurations are automatically applied as soon as the technician disconnects.

SmartChange

SmartChange models are created through a point and click interface, supporting unique values for each device, enabling you to import values from Excel files. Not only it is available the history of the individual configuration changes, but also the history of all commands executed in the respective devices.

SmartBridge - Multi-Tenancy (option)

SmartBridge enables support not only for the overlapping IP spaces, but allows to operate on devices geographically close to the device under management. This not only reduces bandwidth but increases competition of operations and reduces errors due to network errors and timeout of connections.

This is an optional feature for Net LineDancer Enterprise edition. Please contact the sales team for more details.

Zero-Touch (option)

For the start-up for network devices, you are not required skilled technicians. This is called zero-trip with Zero-Touch. For example, imagine that the NetID server is in Tokyo, and a network device to be configured is in the branch office in Sapporo. And 'Just connect the network cable to the device and it will automatically be configured as NetID.

There are two ways to achieve this:

First, enable DHCP and TFTP server. Then assign the IP address to the device. This is necessary as the procedure of the NetID Bootstrap server sends the configuration to the device.
Note: This procedure is for Cisco IOS 12.2 or later. Startup Config is not mounted. And 'necessary DHCP be enabled.

The second way is to send to the branch office of Sapporo of devices with Bootstrap, who have already assigned the IP address of the NetID server, from Tokyo to Sapporo. Simply connect a network cable to this network device, and will be configured with Zero-Touch.
For the end user configuration is completely "Zero-Touch", while the service provider is "One-Touch". We call both Zero-Touch.

1. Zero-Touch restore the same type of device - Memory loss, setting error, restoring FLASH loss
2. Restore a new device, even if a device is stored in the cache. .

This is an optional feature for Net LineDancer Enterprise edition. Please contact the sales team for more details.

Custom Field

User Management

Net LineDancer Ver.11.04 improves gestionde degil users.
There are 26 types of permissions to set the sights of autoirzzato NetID for each user. It also allows you to authorize the operation for each user network.

Compliance Check

Net LineDancer real-time compliance featureAs soon as a rule is broken in device configuration, netLD detects the devices and report it to administrators. The compliance engine is simple yet powerful enough to express just about any rule you can think of. Policies can be applied to your entire inventory, or partitioned to apply to specific sets of devices.

Configuration Mismatch

Net LineDancer Configuration Mismatch featureIf there is a difference between the device's running-config and startup-config, configuration mismatch violation status icon will be displayed. You can see differences by clicking this icon. As you can standardize configurations, its configuration will be recovered easily when errors occur.

Integeration with SNMPc

Inventory Management

Net LineDancer Configuration DiffFull hardware inventory, including chassis part and serial numbers, as well as those of cards, daughter cards, power-supplies, and even fan tray assemblies. Great for keeping your vendor support contracts in sync with your deployed hardware.

Disaster Recovery

Net LineDancer Configuration RecoveryIf the running device has trouble, replacing the device to a replacement device will be necessary.
It allows you to put configurations into replacement devices and restore them.

Command Runner with Scheduling

Net LineDancer Command Runner with SchedulingYou can send commands to devices to check or change configurations directly from netLD by using Command Runner tool. For example, you can use this tool to set schedules for access-lists by clicking one button.
